Galicia articles

Hi Revolución! I hope there won't be any bad blood between us that I undid your Galicia-related article namechanges. This was voted before and the result was not to move anything. I tried to diligently merge the changes you made to the new locations back to the original articles. I hope I did not miss anything. Also, your move from Galicia (Spain) to Galicia was done by cut and paste. The drawback of such moves is that the history doesn't follow the article as well as the talk doesn't follow either. Please let me know if I misunderstood something with what you did. In this case a apologize. Regards, --Irpen 03:29, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Hablame

Yes - I did realise this but I thought it looked better like that. Oh well, perhaps I'll accent the "a" like it should be then... :( --Celestianpower ^hablamé 19:26, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Venezuela

Hi Revolucion... I hope you don't mind that I switched the picture back. The content of the paragraph following the picture deals with the Anti chavez movement prior to the recall referendum... the very source of the referendum. The picture you posted is already displayed in the Bolivarian_Revolution article. In the spirit of impartiality and providing the most information possible, I believe it would be best to display both pictures. Don't you agree? - Spaceriqui 03:43, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

I just thought it wasn't fair to delete one picture and replace it with another. no hard feelings between two fellow vegetarians. ok? -Spaceriqui 19:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Democratic Party talk page

Please refrain from personal attacks. Try to assume good faith. It looks like an honest question. Sorry to have to bring it up. See you around, my friend. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 18:31, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry to have picked on you, but all parties involved could use a dose of civility. It isn't really a matter of who is right. I am off to go tell Tshilo (Tomer) to calm down as well. Thanks for understanding. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 18:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Deletions

Hi! If an article is not within guidelines, it most certainly may be deleted immediately. However, feel free to recreate a deleted article with additional content. - Lucky 6.9 20:29, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Uh, please leave my talk page alone. I got the message. You rewrote your article, it looks much better, let's leave it at that. Regards, Lucky 6.9 20:31, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Let's try this once more: It's my talk page. I'm not accusing you of vandalism. I appreciate your concern. Articles with little or no content may be speedy deleted under criterion A1. I deleted a page lacking content, you recreated it with additional content and it looks fine. OK? Friends? Peace? Christmas? - Lucky 6.9 20:34, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for the inconvenience. I really do appreciate the feedback. I'll be more considerate of your work in the future. Take care! - Lucky 6.9 20:46, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Um... isn't this image copyrighted? Maybe we could find a scan of Franklin's original proposal instead.--Pharos 22:53, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

I have added the {{no licence}} tag to the image. You stated the source, Omniglot, but that page is copyrighted. Please read Wikipedia:Fair use to see if this image qualifies as fair use. Thanks! --Angr (tɔk) 10:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Revolución! A well deserved pressy!--Santa on Sleigh 22:33, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

I see you edited the entry to say that it arose as a specifically non-sectarian or non-Christian greeting. Can you substantiate this? Season's Greetings originated as a Christmas greeting and attained its neutral status much later. In light of the recent controversy, I don't want to provide additional amunition to those who view all non-"Merry Christmas" greetings as PC johnny-come-lately phrases if that is not the case. Lindmere 05:17, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Good solution, thanks. I would be very curious to find any citations. I took a guess about the Irving Berlin song, since that was definitely around in 1942, but the song itself refers to all holidays since it's about an inn that's only open on holidays. Lindmere 14:36, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Benjamin Franklin's phonetic alphabet, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Title of December 2005 IISc shooting

You suggested that the title of "December 2005 IISC shootout" be changed to "December 2005 IISC shooting". I have changed the title to reflect the meaning of "shootout". Thank you!--Kevin Hanse (talk) 18:42, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you!

Esperanza elections

Thank you! :)

Thanks for voting for me in the Esperanza elections. I've been appointed to the Advisory Committee, thanks to your show of confidence in me. I'll do my best to make you proud, but please feel free to ask me for help at any time or to give me tips as to what you would like to do. Thanks for being an active member of Esperanza! I'll see you around. Titoxd^{(?!? - help us)} 00:43, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

• Thanks for your vote for me in the Esperanza council election. I sincerely appreciate it.--Dakota ~ ε Adminship I saw your question about self noms at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship. I have looked at some of your edits and your talk page and would be happy to nominate you if you are interested. -- DS1953 talk 23:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC) Check your regular email account for a message from me. -- DS1953 talk 16:01, 2 January 2006 (UTC) Did you get the email I sent to you? -- DS1953 talk 04:08, 5 January 2006 (UTC) If you did not get it, then read this and let's touch base again. -- DS1953 talk 04:13, 5 January 2006 (UTC) Let me know when you are ready. In the meantime, I recommend frequently reading the pending RfAs and voting where you have an opinion, visiting AfD regularly and voting there, and using edit summaries across the board, even on minor edits. I have no doubt you will make a good administrator when you feel you are ready, but those things will help move you through the process. -- DS1953 talk 19:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC) List of trojan horses deletion vote notice Thanks for your vote for the list of computer viruses. Please consider voting similarly for the list of trojan horses as well. Thank you - A-Day 23:54, 31 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks for your help! A-Day 00:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC) No problem! It boggles the mind to see people trying to delete such useful lists. --Revolución (talk) 01:22, 1 January 2006 (UTC) Agreed. In my opinion, the nominator contributes well, just had some poor judgment with these nomintations.

I had just spent an entire night revising the earlier draft of the section to fit a more Neutral POV, and found out earlier today that you had deleted the complete section. Would like an explanantion as to why the 2nd Revision did not fit NPOV. I also believe that discussion on King-Kong's realism is a significant section in the Wikipedia article that many would be interested in reading. I am not interested in starting an Edit War, and would gladly leave the King Kong page in its current state if a good reason is offered. Thank you.

It is an article about a day of much importance both to the history of the anti-war movement and to general discussion of the Iraq war.
